NiftyNiblick Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) If you'd rather write a check than do the work, then both The Iron Factory and The GolfWorks do a great job of this as well. I once saw a set of Ping EyeTwos with the rough tumble finish converted to a polish finish by the GolfWorks. Not quite the same as satinizing a plated finish, but very interesting nonetheless.

RIduffer Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 So is that a sticker or a stamp and paint fill? Looks kinda like the Aldila RIP logo. Personally am fond of the lone symbol that indicates Epon on the Personals... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EPONfreak Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Awesome Chris. Jeez you've got T-Rex nuts for doing that. I seem to be the only person that likes retro chrome though, just love it on blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdGolf Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 The more I look at the Personal the more the look grows on me. I must admit when I first saw it, I though it was too busy and prefer their AF Tour model but now I'm liking it more and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+TourSpecGolfer Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 If your a stickler on perfection you may not like how satinizing any irons comes out. I've done in many times and its never perfect. If you have the cash just get them refinished in Japan, it looks less scratchy and everything in one direction with a nice luster over it. If you use your clubs as tools then it shouldn't matter and go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use your clubs as tools then it shouldn't matter and go for it. I agree, its not perfect but i ld settle for this look more than the mirror chrome. Considering I did it by hand without a tool I'm extremely satisfied. Looks truly Handmade just like katanas of the past. I would have gone bead blast but could jot find anyone to do it locally.

swisstrader Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Proud new owner! Just a bit nervous about shafts...I now game the Aerotech i95's in my 502's and love em. The Personals are shafted with Monacos in stiff and the weight of the shaft is 122, which sounds a bit heavy for my swing. Looking for some views on that and will also post in shaft section for input. I can obviously just switch Aerotechs from 502's to personals and sell 502's with Monaco, but would prefer to keep in tact. Any views on how the Monacos will play compared with the Aerotechs?

chiromikey Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) i posted over there but i'll chime in here too. the monacos are so well balanced that i think you'll swing these with very little concern. as far as a comparison between the aerotechs and monacos, i have the i125's in my af-tours so i'm probably not a good person to ask regarding the i95's.

EdGolf Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I've swing both the monacos and Aerotech 195 and i110 and I think you can get use to the Monacos very quickly as mention above, the shaft feels balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 you will be fine but will get used to it if your coming from aeros. but should not be a problem. transitioning down from monacos to aerotechs were very very easy for me. do note these will play very very different from your 502/aero. the 502 aero is like lance armstrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
